Our stay was amazing! We were a little concerned with staying on the water with an adventurous toddler but the extra lock on the back door helped us feel safe and comfortable. Our hosts were amazing, great attention to detail and easy to communicate if we were in need of anything, for example, where to buy bait. Honestly, the property had everything even a child booster seat and toys. Loved it! We will come back.

Five stars all the way! This quant house has literally everything and then some. Every room has a tv even the screened patio has a tv. Kayaks and SUP’s. Tons or them! Bicycles? Check…. The kitchen is fully stocked toaster oven, air fryer, margarita maker, electric flat top. The inside is great everything is brand new. The outside is even better. Huge deck screened in area. Grill. Firepit. We saw tons of manatees swimming by. The sunset it neat as it sinks down the other end of the canal. One left turn and you’re kayaking on the main river. Long story short, We can’t wait to return. And the host are great too they had little special touches waiting for us. Awesome.

Trish & Brock were amazing hosts, and helped accommodate our needs to make a very pleasant stay. Their home was very clean! And there were so many extra items available to make us feel at home. They definitely go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need, and then some!! We enjoyed coffee and breakfast every morning by the dock, and saw manatees! My husband enjoyed kayaking to Hospital Hole, which he said was a very easy paddle. The outdoor shower was so refreshing! We didn't utilize the bikes, but there were even bikes available for us. We lucked out with perfect Florida weather, and we are looking forward to visiting again!

This was a very clean and well-furnished home. The third bedroom was small but will accommodate one adult well. We loved the outdoor space and the dock was great for our boat. Kitchen contained all needed supplies for making meals and the grill was great! The canal is convenient to the river but you will need to watch the tides if you have a larger boat. We also enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboards provided. Great stay!
